  1. Must be time for a reality check! You're definitely not dreaming, trust me.
  2. That's not a hand grenade! This is a hand grenade!
  3. "Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you...How are you?" -Han Solo
  4. H isn't even a real face. You must be on Megaminx or something. Is the Executor actually a ~9-km sandwich with lasers?
  5. 9/10 the internet will explode. I put a planet-sized lens at Sun-Earth L1 such that the focal point is on Earth's surface.
  6. Rockomax, because there's no Kerbodyne Poodle. Watermelon vs. Cherries
  7. I think the main engines would be on the ET, which would take it all the way to orbit, detach, and turn around to burn retrograde and reenter.
  8. "What? Oh, yes, I'm working. Haha!"
  9. Banned for witty xkcd reference phrased slightly differently.
  10. 5/10 sounds vaguely like "Kerbal Space Program Flora" in which I imagine a greenhouse with tropical plants and rocket scientists.
  11. 1402: You're in a hexagonal hallway that stretches out to infinity. The only way to the next floor is to jump into the garbage chute, which goes up for some reason.
  12. "Raw" engineer-speak "Crap we really should come up with a cool acronym for this thing we invented" engineer-speak
  13. You are thinking of simulating the individual interactions of around a hundred billion atoms, even with something so small as a bacterium. The only computer powerful enough to simulate something like that that I know of is whatever runs the universe. If it were feasible, someone would already have done it. However... I do seem to recall that some scientists programmed a computer to mimic the brain of a simple creature with very few neurons, hooked it up to a robot, and the robot moved as if it were an animal. Here it is in action. The robot is not programmed to avoid walls, it is the simulated neuron interactions receiving sensory signals and reacting by moving the wheels.
  14. As long as it's just one... That was a great launch!
  15. Great job to all the team and good luck on the next phases of the mission! The launch stream on NASATV was beautiful BTW!
  16. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... STAR WARS It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...
